So I'm making the switch from my current 35's to 37's and I was interested in a few different tires.
I've run BFG (KO2's) and Nitto (Trail Grapplers) in the past but I'm tired of taking out a second and third mortgage on the house in order to do so. I DO like the idea of buying Made in USA as I can't stand giving money to China however... the price has to be right.
Well I found a few options but the USA Made option here is an 8 ply and I've always run a 10 ply. Is an 8 ply up to the task for off-roading vs. a 10 or 12 ply??
Here's what I'm considering:
Option 1: The same tires I'm running now which have proven to be fantastic on and off-road. E rated 10 ply. Made in Indonesia
Delium Terra Raider M/T KU-255
Option 2: Ironman Tires, a subsidiary of Hercules Tires USA however, these are Made in ? (not USA). F rated 12 ply.
Ironman All Country MT Mud Terrain
Option 3: These are also Hercules Tire USA and these ARE Made in USA but are 8 ply.
Hercules Terra Trac M/T
I am leaning toward running the Delium's again since I have history with them and they perform great but for an extra $200 (actually less as they are currently running a $70 rebate) I can get a USA Made tire. But 8 ply? I dunno. Obviously as you can see, the price is right for any of these as I would be pocketing near a thousand dollars by simply skipping BFG's or Nitto's so it's definitely going to come down to one of these.
Anyone have experience with the Terra Trac 8 ply's? I'd love to hear your input. Pros / Cons...
